Guest R9 Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Its mad seeing stuff like this, makes everything seem so much more real hopefully they will have some done containing the war aswell I think it'd bring a lot more perspective on the some of the soldiers that fought if they could be seen like this atm it seems looking at them they just seem like people from the past..

Gambino Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 It's amazing looking back at old photos. Can only Fully appreciate them of course if you have been around the area.
